This Is the Kind of Birthday Present You Get When You're Selena Gomez's BFF
If you could pick any celebrity to be BFFs with, who would you choose? Chances are, Selena Gomez might top many people’s lists. The Instagram queen is beloved by her 94 million (and counting) fans, scores of tour attendees, and, of course, famous friends. In addition to Taylor Swift and company, Courtney Barry is lucky enough to be one of Gomez’s close pals, and as it turns out, it comes with some major perks.
For Barry’s birthday, Gomez surprised her with the ultimate fashion-girl present: Givenchy’s Antigona Bag ($2435). Gomez posted the sweet exchange on her Snapchat, where she captioned one of the photos of Barry holding the bag, “Love at first sight.” In another snap, Gomez wrote that Barry never carries a purse, so she “wanted her to feel special.” Plus, in an Instagram, Barry showed off tons of amazing flowers she received for her big day. How cute is that? If only we had such a well-connected and thoughtful BFF.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
